Install docs update

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Thanks for this project. Just thought I'd let you know the 'bower install' command is missing from the getting started section of the docs. Also, bower install places the components in a 'bower-components' directory under the 'public' directory. The code references them being in 'app/lib/. Not sure if that's something strange about my bower setup, but you need to run bower install, move the 'bower-components' directory inside the public directory and rename it to 'lib'. Otherwise, the app won't run (all kinds of missing files, etc.)

Again, thanks for this contribution. Cheers.

Guess you need to be running 'grunt' from inside the app directory- that would fix the second part of the problem above. Might want to mention that as well.

Feel free to send a PR and help other people.

hi @hairgamiMaster
If you look closely at step# 3 in the instructions in README.md, you'll find that doing npm install does four things:

  1. runs npm install
  2. runs bower install
  3. copies development.json5.sample and production.json5.sample files to development and production.json5
  4. runs grunt copy

This is all present in the postinstall script in package.json.
